Notes from the Resistance
NRA has done something good, so it won’t hurt us to recognize that. Spreading this video far and wide can help promote RKBA and challenge prohibitionist lies. That includes throwing it in the faces of gun-grabbing Democrats in reply to their idiotic social media posts.

He’d have heard back if he’d done this, especially if he’d hit one.
And look who’s being primed to wear the crown.

What kind of total @$$hole would demand good people be disarmed and advise “Give them what they want“?
What if what they want is you?

What would happen if an ordinary citizen had opened fire on car thieves? What is the likelihood he would not already have been arrested? Should the agent(s) be treated any differently? [More]
Or as Capt. Bryant said in Blade Runner, “You know the score, pal. If you’re not cop, you’re little people.”
Snyder’s mother, Alicia Rogers, previously told The Gazette that Snyder had been delivering for DoorDash when the shooting started. She said her son had a concealed carry license and that she believes he was ambushed and then pulled out his own weapon in self-defense. [More]
